The Viall Files

We are always so grateful for those of you that call in to share your stories with us because you never know how it can help someone else who is listening. This week we have some great conversations with a woman who overly romanticizes her relationship to a point where she doesn't even know her own needs anymore, a wife whose husband satisfies her in every aspect of their relationship except in the bedroom and is trying to evaluate if being in a sexless marriage is sustainable, a gentleman whose struggle with coming out about his sexuality has kept a close relationship to him in a state of confusion, and finally how different religious beliefs can put a strain on a relationship when you are not having the tough conversations around it. "The idea of someone doesn't deal with the substance of the relationship."

Get ready to feel inspired as we are joined by motivational speaker, author, former NFL player, and founder of the non-profit RehabTime, Trent Shelton. Trent and Nick address talking to your kids about Black Lives Matter, as well as how your empathy, compassion and- most importantly- your example can impact change in the world. They have a motivational conversation about not comparing yourself with others and how a different way of thinking can have you embracing your uniqueness. Lastly, we speak about Trent's book Straight Up, coming out soon, and how its youth-focused message offers different perspectives but doesn't sugarcoat the truth. "If you trade in your uniqueness for someone else's identity you lose your power." Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode.

This week Nick is joined by his friend, Wells Adams, to recap this week's GOAT episode of The Bachelor. As "the guy who took forever to kiss Jojo," Wells talks through what it is actually like in that environment to try to be romantic, not being JoJo's type, "The Rose Boys", and, of course, Chad. Get ready because this conversation goes off the rails here and there providing some good laughs and context to some behind-the-scenes moments of the show. "Welcome to the rose garden."

On this episode of Ask Nick we are joined by host of The Bright Side podcast & television personality Kaitlynn Carter. Kaitlynn and Nick really jump into it when it comes to dating rumors, bi-sexuality, being on reality tv, trust, honesty, and falling in love, all before we talk to our callers this week. They then speak to a woman who is struggling in her interracial relationship with her boyfriend who is becoming a police officer, someone who sexts for money, likes it, and wants to make sure she communicates it properly to the next person she dates, and a quarantine dater who is trying to navigate through all the issues the current world is presenting while she explores a new relationship. "If you are going to be judgemental of me you're not the fit for me." Don't forget to send your sex and relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com.

Are you fascinated by "Karen" culture? Well, we are and wanted to take a look into what is going on with this new pop culture phenomenon. Nick & Krissy are joined by Actor, Comedian, & Author Sarah Colonna, who may have played a "Karen" here and there on TV. We take a look at how this culture came about, the behavioral traits associated with it, how it is being used politically, and why it is sometimes better to just take a breath and walk away. Most importantly we send lots of love to everyone out there named Karen who might find it to be a difficult trending topic. "How dare you." Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode!

On this episode we speak with someone who is finding that the power dynamics in her throuple are not working for her, a woman's who realized that during her first experience in dating the relationship was just long enough to cover the absence of his girlfriend, and how to find closure while you continue to work with an ex - and who asked your best friend to date.
